Change on SVIB: Dice or men?

Abstract

The profile report form for the strong Vocational Interest Blank has shaded areas, established by throwing dice, to indicate chance scores on the various scales. The SVIB manual suggests that this shaded area be used as a reference point to determine if a given score is significant. This article suggests that the shaded areas should be determined by scores of the Men-in-General group instead of throwing dice. The effect of this on the shaded area is shown on a sample profile report form. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
